Microfilm Scanning
The microfilm scanning industry has been around for a while now, and based on some contacts and salespeople I know in business, it is a very weird industry.
Case in point:
Most microfilm scanning or paper document scanning companies don't produce their work in-house, which means they rely on resellers or compete directly against each other (other service bureaus) for work. They formerly bid against each other for government work (where the lowest bid wins), or engage in industry-wide price wars to get work from hospitals, universities, banks, law offices, mortgage companies, libraries, police departments, and other organizations.
Because the price of conversion is dropping (yet the cost of everything else in this country is increasing) some companies send microfilm overseas. This is dangerous, so if you need a film conversion you should look for someone you can trust, like Chris Ferrer of Advanced Imaging Solutions - The Microfilm Depot, someone who I know is an ethical, fair, and quality orientated owner.
